Broccoli is a superfood packed with nutrients like antioxidants, which can benefit cats if consumed in moderation.
Risks
Broccoli should be well cooked and unseasoned.
Raw or seasoned broccoli, or broccoli cooked in fat, can cause illness in cats.
Overfeeding broccoli can lead to nutritional deficiencies as it might make cats feel too full to eat their regular, nutritionally balanced cat food.
Suggestions
Feed your cat plain, cooked broccoli occasionally as a treat, not more than once or twice a week.
Ensure that it is unseasoned and not part of any dish containing other potentially harmful ingredients.
Note: even if labeled as safe, any food can potentially cause allergies. When introducing a new food, please feed a small amount and observe your cat for any allergic reactions.
